This summer has been eventful all around - Pat and Laurel had a good time in Cleveland, and Marty and I had a very quiet two weeks. On his return, Patrick announced he and some friends were sharing an apartment, and he moved out the very next day! He's started classes at Cosumnes River Community College, quit his job at Round Table Pizza, and picked up a new position at Big 5 Sporting Goods for 21 hours a week. It's a much better job for his circumstances, since he no longer has to work until the wee hours, and he also has weekends off!
Marty and I have been going through his old bedroom and tossing around ideas for its use, now that it is empty. We think we'll keep the bed in case we need a guest bedroom, toss the hutch but keep the computer desk to use as a table for sewing, crafts, etc. I think I'll move my family history files up there to make space in the dining room for dining room stuff, and Marty has moved some of his work files in there too. After we move the furniture around, it will be fun to "decorate"!
I joined Weight Watchers in May, and have lost about 24 lbs since then. I still have a long way to go, and I have to renew my commitment every Friday in order to stay on track. But I will stay on track! I just need to set a new goal to see me through the end of the year - if I can lose another 20 lbs by January 1, I'll be almost halfway to my goal weight.
